Bike Light Set, Super Bright 240 Lumen LED Bicycle Headlight Safety Flashlight, Best Front and Rear Cycle Lighting Headlight and Taillight, for Kids Men Women Road Cycling, 2 Pack

I've now purchased 12 of these, 6 at a time (two different suppliers but all through Amazon). Four are on my bike (two facing forward -- one wide beam, one narrow and two facing rear -- one wide and one narrow beam with red plastic over the lenses held on with a plastic electrical wire tie wrap.). The others are in cars, boat (multiple locations) and home (multiple locations). Both sets came with handlebar clamps that are the same. Those clamps work fine and seem to hold well to the light and to the bar with the thumbscrew but you may have to add a wrapping of tape or put a piece of hose on to increase the diameter of the bar to better fit the clamp and it's rubber insert (especially if used on a narrow tube bike rack). That is a minor consideration. The ability to focus from a narrow to a wide beam is welcome and makes this light useful for a lot of purposes. The "square" beam that shows the inside of the light isn't a problem as a slight turn on the focusing bezel removes it. As to comments about the number of lumens and comparison to quite expensive bike lights...no problem 'mon. It is bright enough for nearly anyone's needs. I've now donated a lot of D-cell flashlights to Salvation Army...don't need them anymore since nearly everything I now own works on AA batteries. (In case you are wondering, I live in a hurricane prone area and we can lose power or may have to evacuate...hence a lot of flashlights are needed! And, riding my bike in rain caused no problem with the four lights on the bike...not leaks). There are three settings, low, high and flash. I use the high for the "headlights" and the "flash" for the red rear bike lights. No problems with any defects or not working from any of the 12. Quality is good and price is excellent, even has a lanyard so I tie one onto my "evacuation/sailing" jacket. Certainly does everything I need.

This really is an amazing bargain, if you know how to work out the quirks. It is NOT as bright as the more expensive lights, but it is bright enough to ride in complete darkness safely while on the high setting. In the city under street lamps, the flash setting uses the bright setting, so you will be very visible from the front. There are 3 issues that come to mind, and here's how I solved them. #1 - the battery compartment can fit a little loosely inside the flashlight, which can cause the light beam to flicker or even change settings or turn off when going over rougher terrain. I remedied this by putting a piece of duct tape all the way around the battery compartment before putting the compartment back into the flashlight housing. It doesn't move at all, and absolutely no flicker. If the duct tape alone doesn't stop the flickering/mode changing/turning off, put a dime or two into the battery housing before dropping in the battery pack. #2 - The little lens at the head of the light can become loose and fall off. Screw off the lens and put a couple of small dots of Elmer's glue in the lens housing threads, and screw back on. It will not come off unless you use a vice grips (not sure why I'd ever want to take the lens off, anyway). #3 - The mount can come loose on the bike if the screw is not tightened with enough torque. Have a person with strong hands tighten it and it'll stay put just fine. I've been riding with it all summer, and it is holding up great. I haven't had to change the batteries yet. Very sturdy. I just purchased 2 more; one for my son and one for a back up. Even is you simply use it as a flashlight, it's worth twice as much as the current $5 + free shipping charge...

I bought this as a bicycle head light but I can seriously recommend it to anyone as the best small flashlight out there. As a head light, the beam is super bright and being able to adjust the beam is nice. As a flashlight, you should love it also. It's so bright, you could probably blind an attacker if you carried it in your purse. It came with a mount for the handle bar and a simple nylon sheath for your belt. The handle bar mount seems a little weak. I hope it holds up. I expected the light to move a lot because the bracket didn't seem tight or sturdy but honestly, it wasn't a problem riding on a paved street. I can't say what you'll find if you are off-roading. My other complaint about the bracket is that the way you tighten the light into the mount uses a very long thin screw with very fine threads. The screw has a plastic head about the size of a marble that you have to tighten or loosen and since the thread is so fine, you have to turn, turn, turn it. There is nothing quick about it. I'm talking 15 to 30 secs to tighten, which seems like an eternity if you have to get somewhere fast. Also when tightening it, the screw head snugs down under the bracket which holds the light and makes it more difficult for your fingers to really get it tight. Because of that, if you have weak fingers, arthritis or something like that, I wouldn't recommend this for anyone that plans to be removing/attaching it regularly. I think a quick release clip would have been better.

Edit 2: the Mount came in a separate package...a week later. The seller actually quoted an estimate delivery of up to 40 days. I guess China post is all a gamble, but it should've been in one package to begin with. Not only are they saving by reducing the quality of the flashlight, but also shipping two packages. The only saving grace is the mount seems to be decent and you can actually break off the top and insert it back in to take your flashlight on and off. I wasn't expecting quick turnaround, but I have ordered many many items that shipped from China and by far this is the slowest one. If you don't mind some compromised quality and up to a month long wait for something to arrive in separate packages, go ahead and pick the cheapest option. However, I would suggest paying a couple dollars more for a fulfilled by Amazon seller or one that ships from within the US. The quality is likely to not be compromised either. Edit: I bought another one for a second bike. I could not find the original seller so picked whichever was cheapest. The prices in general from every seller have all gone down. The package came with NO MOUNT and the headlight was very different from the original one, which I still have. It's literally half the weight, feels far far cheaper, the focus mechanism is very loose, and the lens is cheap and very dirty. The light it gives off is also dingy, and weaker than the original. It's a complete knockoff of the original. Either that, or the original has been discontinued for the newer, far far crappier and cheaper model. Unless you want to play russian roulette with the dozens of chinese sellers, don't bother with this product anymore. I don't even know if the old one exists anymore, but the version I received is not worth the price or wait time, and didn't even come with a mount. Go to your nearest physical store that sells flashlights and buy a decent flashlight instead. Unscrew one of your reflectors and duct tape the light to it and stick it on your handlebars. It's not elegant, but its better than what I have now, and the light output will definitely be better. Original: For $8 you get a really nice and well built little flash light that you can mount on your bike. The build quality is high with no scuffing or blemishes, made of hard metal. The button on the back is big and very clicky and durable. You can cycle between bright, dim, and annoying blinker modes by pushing the bottom several times. I usually have it set to dim as I don't need it that bright and can save battery. You can also twist the top to focus the light more or spread it out. It goes from a funny little square shape to a large round circle that can bathe an entire street. The mount is simple to understand and all you do is screw it to loosen or tighten it. When you insert the flash light in the mount, it takes a bit of force to push it in all the way, but it keeps everything tight and secure. I keep the mount a slight bit loose so that I can easily rotate it up and down around my handlebar to shine a light on either closer or farther distances. The mount also comes with custom fitted and durable rubber spacers to increase your handlebar's girth if its too thin for the mount. You can easily unscrew and pull out the light to use as a mini flashlight on the go. It's basically a mini flashlight anyway. A really bright one. I had previously gotten a $15 combo front light and tail light from Walmart. The front light was no better than a plug-in LED night light, and made of super cheap breakable plastic and a frustrating mount that required several cheap electrical tape looking inserts instead of rubber spacers. The NowAdvisor light is 10-100x brighter and much bigger/farther/wider and far more durable and versatile.

Out of the box - 5 stars - appeared to be well built, solid, bright. Week 1 - 4 stars - two little annoyances cropped up: 1. The light comes with rubber grips to go on the handlebars. They grip the handlebars just fine, but the light collar doesn't grip the rubber. A little work with some sandpaper to roughen up the plastic and all was OK. 2. The light has three modes; High, Low, Flashing and one button. It always turns on where you left off, so if you want High (like I do when using as a headlight) it takes 5 button presses to turn it on - On Low - Off - On Flash - Off - On High. And if you forget where you are, start over again. Much prefer my Petzl that has the same modes, but always comes on in High, then allows a mode change with a single press within the first 10 seconds. Week 2 - 2 stars - Starting in the second week the light started to either change modes or turn itself off when riding over bumps. This is a road bike, only ridden on paved roads, but there are still some small bumps. The light would suddenly change from High to Low, or Low to Flashing, or maybe just turn off. Major pain in the a**, especially when you're working hard and don't have a free hand to go through 5 presses to get it back where it started. Week 3 - 1 star - Going over one of those bumps the lens popped out of the light. Now I have a dim 120 degree beam that is pretty much useless. Maybe still shows oncoming cars that I exist, but otherwise not worth the weight on my bike. If this had happened at a year maybe could have accepted it, but at three weeks not worth the money I paid, even if that wasn't very much.

Not entirely sure what all of these low ratings I'm reading are based on. Were expectations too high? Received something from a different vendor? All I can say is this light definitely gives value at its asking price! Is it the brightest and best? No. Will it let your ride at night? Yes. Irregardless of the actual lumen output, the torch puts out enough light to get around in the dark. You would be hard pressed to find a better alternative at this price, let alone one that comes with a mount. The adjustable light is a handy feature (see video). Although the torch mount didn't exactly slip on the first try, you get two rubber pieces to adjust the girth to get a snug fit on wherever you want it to go. I had mine mounted in five minutes and was ready to go. Slipped in the torch, screw in the pin to secure it, and everything was all set. Took my bike out in a hour ride with zero issues; no slipping or falling off, it stayed glued to the handle bar like every other of my accessories on rough roads. I really don't believe it deserves anything less than a five star rating simply because it's a very viable solution for night riding at a mere $8 and change. I'll keep this one until I can afford a nicer setup.

This little guy is a replacement to a previous headlight I had (a 3 LED headlight that also ran on 3 AAA batteries). Pros: -This light is BRIGHT. Much, much brighter than my previous headlight. I feel safe that others cars can see me, and I can see the road. I would consider using this light as an emergency/personal light. It's practical. -The "clip" to secure the light to the handlebar is very secure and well made. I don't foresee the light slipping off or having to constantly adjust the light position. This is what wore down and broke the fastest on my last headlight, so I'm glad that this feels so sturdy. -There is a zoom feature. You can concentrate the light on one bright point (which, curiously, comes out as a rectangle) or a wide field for the road. Cons: -Because the light is so nice and bright, I'm not sure how long the batteries will last. Time will tell, but I'll probably invest in rechargeable AAA. -It could potentially be stolen. The light can be removed out of the connector with a few twists and a tug (don't worry, it won't fall out accidentally, though!). I don't like leaving it on my bike for long periods while I'm at work, but it's easy enough to take the flashlight in with me, along with my helmet.

Receiving this product, I was a little sketchy, I mean it was like $6.00 + the shipping, and only totaled to about $12.00 for me. Although receiving it took time, and was confusing, once I actually got the product in my hands I was pretty excited. I tested out the light immediately, with USED batteries, due to the fact I dont have any AAA new ones on me at the moment. I must saying using USED batteries, the light is pretty bright, brighter than a good flashlight I would say. And far good enough to see the road and to have cars see you coming. You can adjust the flashlight zoom by pulling the head forward or backwards (forward making it zoom in, backwards making it wider so you can see more). This flashlight overall is very good, definately worth my money, the installation is literally hands free you can just use your bare hands to install it, the ONLY downside to why I would give this a 4 star instead of a 5 is because the mount I got doesn't look like the one in the photos (but no big deal) + one of the screws aren't screwing in all the way for my bike. But it still fits nice and sturdy as the grip of the mount is rubberized for max grip and less scratch.
